According to Click2Houston.com, a former Houston firefighter was forced to defend himself and his family yesterday.

When the man pulled into his driveway he was confronted by 2 armed men demanding money. The men pistol whipped the homeowner, forced the man into his home where they made the homeowner, his sister and his 12 year old niece lay on the ground as they searched the house for valuables. The men threatened to kill the family if they didn’t cooperate.

While the men were searching the home, the homeowner saw his chance, drew his concealed handgun (which he has a permit for) and exchanged fire with the home invaders.

One of the suspects was shot and killed and the other fled. It is unknown if the second suspect was hit.

According to Click2Houston.com, the homeowner said, “If I had any regrets, I wouldn’t be here talking to you.”
